3. 3 Understand the concept of a Jacobian. Use a Jacobian to change variables in a double integral. Objectives

4. 4 Jacobians

5. 5 For the single integral you can change variables by letting x = g(u), so that dx = g′(u) du, and obtain where a = g(c) and b = g(d). The change of variables process introduces an additional factor g′(u) into the integrand. Jacobians

6. 6 This also occurs in the case of double integrals where the change of variables x = g(u, v) and y = h(u, v) introduces a factor called the Jacobian of x and y with respect to u and v. Jacobians

7. 7 In defining the Jacobian, it is convenient to use the following determinant notation. Jacobians

8. 8 Example 1 – The Jacobian for Rectangular-to-Polar Conversion Find the Jacobian for the change of variables defined by x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ. Solution: From the definition of the Jacobian, you obtain

9. 9 Example 1 points out that the change of variables from rectangular to polar coordinates for a double integral can be written as where S is the region in the rθ-plane that corresponds to the region R in the xy-plane, as shown in Figure 14.71. Figure 14.71 Jacobians

10. 10 In general, a change of variables is given by a one-to-one transformation T from a region S in the uv-plane to a region R in the xy-plane, to be given by T(u, v) = (x, y) = (g(u, v), h(u, v)) where g and h have continuous first partial derivatives in the region S. Note that the point (u, v) lies in S and the point (x, y) lies in R. Jacobians

13. 13 Let R be the region bounded by the lines x – 2y = 0, x – 2y = –4, x + y = 4, and x + y = 1 as shown in Figure 14.76. Evaluate the double integral Example 3 – Using a Change of Variables to Simplify a Region Figure 14.76
